Highly recommend!

I meet with Seth a few months back in his downtown office. Seth and his staff were very welcoming. I was out on bail for an assault and battery with a sharp object and two more very similar charges that were indicted to Superior Court . I already had an attorney but wanted to hear what another attorn...ey had to say. I was scared and confused. Seth listened to my every concern, took lots of notes and gave me great advise. I left his office contemplated on switching attorney's. Seth was never pushy about me switching attorneys he did inform me that he will take care of talking with the attorney I had at that time about me removing him from the case. In the end I did not for a reason that has nothing to do with the confidence I had in Seth. That did not stop Seth from checking in on me and following my case. When I thought I just had my family on my side Seth made me realize that I had him too. Seth opened the door for me to contact him with any questions. He is not in his position just for the money. He does his job to help people that are in need. I highly recommend Seth Orkand!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
